remarkablePaper Pro | The Ultimate Paper Tablet with 11.8’’ Color Display and Reading Light, Includes Marker Plus Pen

I had been debating for a while about going for it with a Paper Pro, and I am so glad I did! I constantly write copious notes across various notebooks or typing on my phone or computer and had to find a way to consolidate everything into once place. I really prefer writing but was taking ages typing up my written notes to share out for myself or my team. This piece of kit is a game changer for me! Super light, the pen feels like a real one, as does the paper finish to write on, the writing experience is AMAZING and so easy to make neat and digestible with lots of editing short cuts. There are many options to format, and the convert to text and email functionality I have used so much! It’s making my notes and organisation so much better and there is so much more to discover. I love the highlighting, colour and underlining options to make my notes easy to digest and read quickly too. It’s a slim, and very chic piece of kit which is lightweight and fits into my laptop bag easily, and the battery life so far is extensive. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a personal organiser that saves you significant time! I am learning as I go and the quick videos and content made by remarkable on how to get the best out of it are easy to digest and learn from. Love it!!

Pros - it’s super easy to use, still feels like you are writing with pencil or pen on real paper.It’s excellent at converting my handwriting to text at the easy press of a button.It looks good and feels like a nice weight. It’s designed well and does exactly what it sets out to.I haven’t worked out all the templates and layers yet but it’s great to use.I like the size and weight of it - it’s like an a4 notepad but feels like a good size and weight. It feels like good qualityConsIt is expensive but hopefully time will tell if it’s worth it.

I’ve worked in management and client services for years, relying on notebooks to capture information across topics, clients, and business issues. I have piles of notebooks – everywhere – and finding specific information was a pain. While typing notes on a laptop can be practical, handwriting helps me process and reflect in a way dictation doesn't, and it's less disruptive in meetings.The Paper Pro has been really useful. I appreciate its simple, intelligent design and how easy it is to use. The writing feel is comfortable and intuitive, and while there are useful templates, I especially like how easy it is to draw my own notes, models, and flowcharts with the built-in tools for lines and shapes.Key features for me are the filing system, which allows categorizing notes by topic, client, or issue (much better than sifting through notebooks), and the surprisingly good handwriting-to-text conversion. Even with my atrocious handwriting, it works. The battery life is also great, which is important when traveling.I'm still learning some of the more advanced features, but so far, I'm really impressed. If you rely on handwritten notes and need to sketch things out, this is a really useful device.

Contemptibly primitive software relative to Kindle, Kobo, & even some Chinese e-readers.Because it displays all books as PDFs, even epubs, it can take minutes to change font, font size, in larger books like novels. It WILL also brick your highlights and notes when you do so, because the highlight is considered an overlay rather than associated with text.That's when you can get books on it at all; the offline file transfer method refuses half the time, and the other half it will say it didn't work but then you find the book on the device. That's when it allows the book at all; with many, you'll run into the file size limit, which means it's a brick if you want to read image heavy books, comic books, manga, or anything like that, which is part of the point of both a colour e-reader and a large format e-reader.All remarks about these and the many other insulting facts about the state of the on-board software are met with by protestations that the thing isn't an e-reader; but it's marketed as one, and an ad describing it as one on Twitter is how I learned about it in the first place. It's also a large flat e-ink display that you can put books on. It's an e-reader.I would refund it, but the company didn't want to honour their 100 day trial promise.
